holmesfield_owl Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Don't personally care either way. Putting a Wednesday badge on William hill branding wouldn't me place a bet anymore than if it was on a companies beer can or burger box. Tbh anyone who bets in the ground is a mug anyway, odds are always far worse than online. Placing a bet on the high street or phone/online is that easy nowadays that IF there is a gambling issue in the country it's already too easy. Aside from that, you've always been able to bet in the ground, first thing you see as you go through kop turnstile where steps are. A none story IMO. I appreciate there will always be some who blow thousands, my feeling with addiction is if it wasn't gambling, their personality would find another crux to lean on (I've had counselling years back for drinking so I have an idea of how it goes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlMR Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Not a good luck in my opinion. Hopefully the club pull the plug on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 What an absolute none story. Thought we had had partnerships with a betting firm in the stadium for years - perhaps not last couple. How many betting companies sponsor shirts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this one they’re on about is emblazoned with Wednesday stuff all over it. Not just company branding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
